Terrorist in the very Loksabha!

Raids on Shahabuddin's house have revealed tiger and deer skins, night-vision goggles, laser-aided guns and other arms with markings of Pakistan ordinance factories. Further photos of the honourable MP with some of India’s most wanted criminals have reportedly been seized. - Excerpts from one of the fortnightly news letter.

Most heartening to know is the fact that this very man is sitting inside the strong walls of Parliament. He was part of different political groups that made trips to Pakistan. What did we get him to represent? The story would not have broken out if the gutsy officers Chandrakant Anil and Ratn Sanjay did what most of their colleagues are not practicing. At a time when people are forgetting the civil servants, these two bureucrats took the lead.

Where on earth do you expect a politician of this stature win four consecutive elections? It has to be Bihar. We talk too much about our systems but everyone has to accept Shababuddin's case as a failure of the systems. Who dares to bring in the changes that are badly needed? None at all! Every politician will speak about the changes needed but none wants a flawless system. This is just the tip of the iceberg that is discovered and it is time to clean up the system. When you have Laloo Yadav with 22+ MPs who can make or break the Govt. at the Centre, What do we expect the power hungry politicians to do? Nothing at all!
